DENVER, August 16.-Goveruor Adams
this afternoon received telegram from
Adjutant.General West. at Glenwood

Kendall for assistance. In response to
this the Governor ordered thecavalryoom-
paniss OF Denver, Colorado Springs, Canon
City, Leadville and Aspen to start for the
front at once. They leave for the seat OF
war tonight at 8 o'clock. The, Governor,
also telegraphed Gen. Crook, at Omaha,
that the situation lie becoming serious. and
urged the War Department to protect the
settlers. The fact is Kendall had had
several skirmishes with the Indians since
last Thursday, and has been deserted by a
part OF his posse and is now left iD dau-
gerous position, surrounded by hostiles
and without food or ammunition. It is
not denied that serious results are ant;ci-

One company will be left here to garrison

tinue to come in with their families and

4 Missing Hackegs.
SALT LAKE CrY, August 17.-(9pecial to
The Miner. IA daring express robbery has
occurred on the Oregon ehort Line, the
full particulars Of which are not obtaina.
BILE. owing to the secrecy in which the mat
ter has been enshrouded by the officials OF
the Express Company. From what can be
Learned it appears that during the latter
epart OF last week banking house in
Omaha shipped one Thousand ten dollar bills
to Clark & Larabie, bankers at Butte. The
bank at the same time notified tho Butte
bank by telegraph that the package had
been shipped by express. The mosey not
arriving at the anticipated time, the, Butte
bankers began to make inquiries, and sev.
eral days ago the fact was developed that
THE MONEY WAS MISSING.
The express officials at once went to Poca-
tello to make all possible inquiry, and it
was there learned that Express Messenger
Bennett, whose run is from Granger to
Pocatello, had destroyed tho waybill. BEN
nstt gave as explanation ofhis conduit that
after he had discovered that he did not
have the ten thousand dollar package that
the waybill called for, appreciating what
the loss Of that amount meant, he claims
he was driven almost wild with fright and
in his distraction tore up tho waybill and
made no report OF the fact on reaching
Ppcatello. Suspicion, Of course rests on,
Bennett, but the last beard from Pocatello
hi had not been arrestedt. Thsse facts have
bfen ascertained with mpch difficulty. the
express officials having maintained most
painful silence in relation to the matter.
Fl c. Gentsch, Superintendent Of the Paci-
fic Express Company in this city is now in
Pecatello trying to find out the iacts rela-
tife to the missing package.
LATER, 4 q. M, August 1s.-A rumor
says the amount involved is only 50, 900
ard the express messenger is believed to be
entirely free from the suspicion Of any
criminal conduct. ~ .-sss p. .,,zsz...g.,

ARIEc, NJ. T., August 16.-[Special to
The Miner. Jan Indian Council was held
at the Flathead Reservation last week, al
which the chiefs, headmen and represents.
tives of the Flatheads, Pend d d'Oreilies and
Kootenais, consisting OF the coniederated
tribes who occupy that reservation. =
THE COUNCIL WAS CALLED,
in order to meet Pierre Busha and listen ia
the statements of that half-breed Cree.
whom, as before stated in q special dis
patch to The MINER, visited the reserva.
tiAn to negotiate with the Indians OF that
favored locality for homes for sixty fami-
lies OF haif-breed Crees, the followers OF
Louis Riel, the executed kchief Of tho hall.
breed uprising in the British Territory.
THE INDIANS LISTENED ArrENrIvEIY
to the pathetic story of Riel's lieutenant,
who depicted tB9 sufferinss, privations and
hardships Of those exiles OF q lost cause in
their encampment upon American soil,
where they sought refuge aftJk the execu-
tion OF their leader.
Michel, chief of the Pend d'Oreilles, re-
piled in behalf OF tho confederated tribes,
and informed Busha that the Indians OF
the Flathead Reservation. however they
DEPLoRED THE MsFoRruNEs
OF the Crees. could not entertain the prop
osition of Offering them homes upon their
reservation, giving among other reasons
that they expected the United states Gov
ernment would remove the Lower Kalis-
pels and also Chief Charloi's band OF Bitter
Root Flatheads to this reservation, and it
would require plenty of land to furnish
homes for those Indians who were OF their
kin and Language. The council
ENDED WITH GOOD FEELING.
but the Cree halfbreeds were left no hope
that they could occupy land upon the
Flathead reservation with the consent Of
the tribes who live there.
Major Maginnis spent Thursday and Fri
day Of last week fishing in Jocko River,
1t the Flathead Reservation.
"A fine speckled trout weighing fifteen
pounds was caught in the Jocko River last
week by Pete Roman, and was expressed TO
Helena to his friend Col. Broadwater.
Lieut.. Fiernent and Capt. Krause, Of
Fort Missoula, with large party Of ladies

views herein expressed. tho indemnity
claims Of the company must be greatly r.
duesd and it will not require all the(e

Indemnity limits, but there would be lands
to restore to the pulic domain. The Secre-
tary viii also hold that this company is

THE JURY'S FINDINGS.

Tho Chatsworth Horror Investigated and
Section Foreman Inculpatsd and
Imprisoned.
CHArswoRrH, H., August 1S.-The fol.
lowing is the verdict found by the Coroner's
Jury to-day in regard to the recent train
wreck here: 1--WE find that the wrecking of
said train which totally demolished eight
coaches, one bsggagecar and one engine and
either killed or wounded most OF the occu-
pants Of said coaches. was caused by said
bridge having been burned out before the
train struck it. We think from the evi-
dence, that
THE BRIDGE WAS FIRED
from fires left burning which had been set
as late as s o'clock that afternoon BY
section men as close as within sixteen feet
on both the east and west sides OF the
bridge. We further find that the foreman

opinion OF the jury that the leaving Of tho

arrested and taken to the county seat to-
day. He says

THE MEETING WAS THE FIRST

regular meeting ever held at Deer Lodge,
previous events having been only match
races. Tho association was only organized
this year and Secretary McMaster says the
result is fully up to the expectations. Their
purses this year were not SO large as they
hope to be able to give in the future, which
will result in moro of the leading animals
which visit the Territory taking part. The
track is the Oldest in Montana, but it has
never been fixed up until the association
was formed. when it. was graded, newly
fenced and a grand stand and stall room
for thirty or forty horses built.
